I like the one you chose and I really like the one on the right as well but am not sure if it would look good on anyone other than the girl in the photo. There's a little Zenon/Jetsons to it but it's cute.

But I've seen it. And it does.

The more I look at it, though, the more I'm worrying it's going to be a revealing on my MOH, who has not tried it on, and it quite...blessed...up top. I'm sure the rest would look fine in her size, but we may have an issue in the bust area.

Sigh. I just want either A) this dress to look beautiful on everyone so we can order or B) another one (in the right shade purple, because that was a big issue) to just magically find its way to me so we can order it.

So that dress is now out--I called another bridal store and said that that designer sends the same sample size/dress to all the stores, so every store will have that same size. I just can't make a decision if I'm not 100% satisfied. CURSES!!

Oh I'm sure the one you chose does. I was unsure about the one on the far right.

Maybe Super KSUViolet can conjure one up for you?

So sorry for the hijack, but I just saw the House of Brides reference. If you have the option and aren't yet committed to them, you may want to check the Google reviews... I also have several stories from unrelated friends and family who encountered them. (They all were the one on Golf Road if that makes a difference to your situation.)

Love the purple color!!

^^ House of Brides reference.. .?I'm confused! Is that what HoB tells people two? The place that I called that I was referring to is actually a small boutique in Park Ridge.

But the almost dress was from the HoB on Golf, LOL!

It is not likely we will go with that one, we're checking out another place in the 'burbs today.

Oh no, you mentioned HoB earlier in a post, and there are pages upon pages online about the Golf location. I personally know several people who have written letters to the Better Business Bureau. My cousin's wedding got Alfred Angelo dresses prior to this, but here's a fun snapshot for anyone who's curious: http://blog.alfredangelo.com/2011/10...gelo-retailer/

^^ OH! Ok I completely forgot I did that.

Very interesting link though, thank you for sharing! Luckily I'm not going there...cause I think I found my dresses!!!

I'm sleeping on it this time just to make sure I still like it in the morning before I post it, lol

OMG I completely forgot to come back and post!

Here's the final pic:



Except in a darker purple.

All the bridesmaids LOVED it (they were making every case as to why I should pick that one, lol) and I'm happy with it because the sweetheart neckline comes up really high, so I think they will still be church appropriate. Here's what they look like in person:



(It's the one on the left obviously, the other two were runner ups)

My typical problem with sweetheart tops is that they're usually inappropriate (IMO) for a church wedding...but I looove that dress! Who designed the dress?

Pretty! Also, do you know what that far right dress' color is called? I LOVE that color but never know the name (except blue/green).

Ah yes, I meant to include that. The dress is by Dessy.

I looked on a couple of different monitors at work, and I think it is more cerulean than teal, with teal being more green than this. I looked at the Dessy site and there are many colors in blue, they could call it oasis, cornflower, ocean blue, or something else entirely.
